Win book about legendary Lancaster bomber

This legendary aircraft has bequeathed to the world an invaluable heritage beloved of generations of movie-goers, air show enthusiasts and historians alike.

Exploits such as the famous low-level raid by 617 ‘Dam Busters’ Squadron on Germany’s hydro electric dams in May 1943 are without equal.

Now 70 years on from that remarkable raid, Martin Bowman’s timely new release charts the course of the Lancaster’s career in the skies.

With an exciting selection of black and white and colour images, Legacy of the Lancasters evokes a real sense of the scale and majesty of this iconic aircraft.

Such is the legacy handed down by this aviation icon that it us up there with the Spitfire and the Flying Fortress in terms of affection, nostalgia and lasting fame.

Two Lancasters are still flying today, one in Britain and another in Canada, while many are proudly displayed in museums throughout the world.
